From a Conversation of 2 to a Community of 2000

Ladies Let’s Talk began when a few inspired women in Austin, Texas got together to share the gift of conversation to help refugee and immigrant women improve their English skills and gain confidence in a safe, supportive environment.

Today Ladies Let’s Talk has four women-only English language programs and has registered over 900 volunteers and over 1,600 learners across the United States.

Our learners come from 66 countries, forming a beautiful collage of world languages and cultures.

Our volunteers share a passion for learning about different cultures and an affection for the wonderfully quirky English language.

Though they come from diverse backgrounds and experiences, our learners and volunteers unite in a shared enthusiasm for learning English and supporting each other's journey toward belonging in our community.

Whether you are a learner, volunteer, or supporter, we welcome you to the Ladies Let’s Talk community and look forward to getting to know you!
